We continue to move forward in this Easter season, allowing ourselves to be guided by the Risen Lord who, Sunday after Sunday, shows us the face of a new life. If we have learned to welcome his peace, to recognize his presence and to choose it in our daily lives, today Jesus invites us to something deeper: to walk with him.
This Sunday’s Gospel (Jn 14:1-12) gives us one of Jesus’ most famous and challenging statements: “I am the way, the truth and the life. This is not just a teaching, but an invitation to follow a concrete path, to live from a truth that liberates and to participate in a full life that he himself offers us.
The light of Easter, gathered in the message of Pope Leo XIV, opens the horizon for us: “The resurrection of Christ is the beginning of the new humanity, it is the entrance to the true promised land, where justice, freedom and peace reign, where all are recognized as brothers and sisters, children of the same Father who is Love, Life and Light”.
This is the goal of the journey: a reconciled humanity, where peace is not a distant ideal, but a lived reality.
From the General Government of the Daughters of Jesus, we are asked a question that places us in the concrete: “What relationships, spaces or decisions today need me to arrive as a bearer of peace?”
Walk creating fraternity
To follow Jesus is to allow ourselves to be transformed along the way. It is to learn to look at others as brothers and sisters, to build new bonds, to heal relationships, to open spaces where peace can grow.
Today, the world needs people who embody this path: who build justice, who promote freedom, who sow peace in everyday life.
Jesus not only shows us the way… He himself is the way. And to walk with Him is to walk towards a life that is shared, that is given and that builds fraternity.
Prayer
Risen Jesus, thank you because you teach us concrete ways of peace.
May we all recognize each other as brothers and sisters.
May your peace come to us.
